And now for something completely different. We\'re embarking on a mini-mini-series: a 2-part look at songs that managed to have a life even if they shows they came from didn\'t. First up, it\'s "You\'ve Got Possibilities" from the almost totally forgotten 1966 musical\\xa0"It\'sa Bird...It\'s a Plane...It\'s Superman". A score by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams -- and production and direction by Hal Prince -- didn\'t save this show from being the biggest flop in Broadway history at the time, but somehow this song managed to find a place for itself. We discuss why.\\xa0

All clips are from the 1966 Orignal Broadway Cast Recording of\\xa0"It\'s a Bird...It\'s a Plane...It\'s Superman" featuring Linda Lavin and are used in accordance with the Fair Use Exemption for criticism and commentary.
